I was killing some time doing a heroic Dalaran Heist run (still my favorite solo content to date) and I managed to UBER-CHEESE a run with the following treasure/passive combo:
- The 7/7 candle that changes all cards to legendary minions (really screws up most boss' decks)
- Robes of Gaudiness (therefore the candle costs 2)
- Candle starts in hand (via bob's tavern)
- Start game with an extra mana crystal (therefore I can plan the candle on Turn 1)
Basically every match was a legendary minion tavern brawl where I have an insane cost reduction upper hand. I also had the anomaly turned on where cards that cost 8 or more give you a random treasure (something I couldn't benefit from with Robes).
When I got to Khadgar, he played the treasure that summons 5 discovered legendary minions the turn before lethal. Well... clearly the AI f***ed up real bad because here's the result (attached):
First time in a while I audibly laughed when the summon animation completed XD. Maybe it was the AI's way of saying, "I f***ing give up on this s**t."

Yeah fair. Haven't seen many control tho lately and I jus love the big dick energy when you have 50 hp against a burn deck on turn 5 and they just concede.

More than anything, props to this guy for playing 25 games despite only winning 2. That is some determination!

Have you considered Sorcerer's Apprentice instead of Leyline Manipulator?

Yeah, it is not a meta-breaker but definitely fun. High skill cap, you have to get creative and consider saving card generation/freezes.
Quest completion is really easy with this deck and milling anything but Archmage Vargoth is manageable.
Found myself using the Greater Arcane Missiles combo more as none of the games go close to fatigue (turn 10-14) and Research Project is often needed to find the combo pieces. Ray of frost mvp for sure.

this card is op. does not activate Darius Crowley tho. Here is an example of the card being mvp against token druid :)

they didn't. dungeon run was the only one with good replayability.

Funnily enough the deck stagnated around rank 5 for me.

Someone please delete this, could not find the way to delete comment. Oh, related to this topic, every time I play control, I get dragon priested, cubelocked or razapriested. 2/3 of the time I play aggro I draw like shit and get plucked. So I started playing aggro Pali and now almost rank 5. But I feel bad for those I defeated. Sorry guys. EU server, wild.
